The new twist for this edition of the tournament is new inclusion of the "Winners’ Circle," which will initially contain three memorable Star Search performers in each category from last season. In every show the winner of round one will be able to "call out" a member of the "Winners’ Circle," and the winner of that challenge will go on to be in the "Winners’ Circle" in the next episode. The spring season contestants which will initially comprise the
"Winners’ Circle" will be adult singers Freedom Bremner, Vickie Natale, and Jake Simpson; junior singers David Archuleta, Molly Bouchard and Mark Mejia, and young dancers Jon Cruz, Candace & Brandon and Tempo & Legend.
Viewers will get to know the "Winners’ Circle" performers each week as cameras follow their activities when they meet influentials in the entertainment industry and participate in various opportunities as they hone their skills on the path to becoming a star.
Ultimately, in the ninth and final episode, the three remaining performers in each of the three "Winners’ Circles" will compete head-to-head for the $100,000 prize in each category.
